Counting Game

    Keywords: Rules

MattNoonan: My counting has become worse in the last few months (or at least, my awareness of my poor counting has increased). At the same time, I'm playing lots of games lately with an old rival, so I devised this metagame to satisfy both the urge to improve at counting and the urge to beat my rival. :)

The Equipment:

The Objective:

The Game:


Alex Weldon: Under Japanese scoring, if you weren't playing with the "get called on trying to control the score and you lose" variation, you could just wait until the game is over, take the time to actually count the score, now that it's actually determined, and then just play inside your own territory until you reduce the margin of victory to a half point (or one point, if you're not playing with komi). So, for this game to work, you should probably play with Chinese scoring.
